Cashew History Though classified as nuts, cashews are actually the shelled seeds borne by the cashew apple, which is the fruit of the cashew tree. Native to Brazil, cashew trees were brought by the Portuguese to India and East Africa in the late 1500s. Well suited to the tropical climates in these regions, cashew trees quickly became an important crop for their delicious fruit, precious wood and other byproducts, including cashew balm. In the early 20th century, the cashew nut began to gain popularity, and today, cashew trees are actively cultivated for this prized delicacy. Cashews are Nutritious Cashews have a delicate flavor and a wonderful texture that make them a favorite for eating out-of-hand. But, far more than just a delicious snack, cashews also contain many nutrients. They offer monounsaturated fats, including oleic acid. They are also a source of copper, which helps the body to produce energy in the cells. And they contain magnesium, an electrolyte that is important for nerve and muscle cells and an essential mineral for bone health. Cashew Butter in Your Diet Eating cashew butter is a wonderful way to make these health advantages your own. With its rich, velvety texture and mellow flavor, cashew butter makes a wonderful addition to hot cereals and breakfast smoothies, and a flavorful dip for raw vegetables. It’s also a perfect ingredient in many baked goods, and a rich and delicious base in savory sauces for fish and chicken. Frequently Asked Questions Nut Allergies - Are Nuts for Everyone? While nuts are a healthful dietary staple for most people, research shows that nearly one percent of Americans – or roughly three million people – can have an allergic reaction to at least one type of tree nut or to peanuts, which are part of the legume family. Since these allergic reactions can range in severity from mild to life threatening, it is vital for food manufacturers to clearly label their products. At MaraNatha, they take great care to ensure that the labels on all of their nut butters provide comprehensive and easy-to-read content information. In fact, their labels not only meet the requirements of the FDA Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, but they also go a step beyond those regulations by featuring a prominent “contains” statement. Located immediately under the ingredients list on each of their product labels, this statement helps ensure consumer safety by highlighting any ingredients that are considered common allergens. Why does the oil separate on top of some of their products? Oil separation occurs naturally in our non-stabilized nut butters soon after the products are made because they do not put any ingredients in the products to keep the oil from separating from the nut solids. As a result, these products require stirring prior to use. Please do not drain off the natural oil on top or you will end up with a nut butter that is dry, hard and difficult to spread. If you don't want to have to stir your nut butter, they offer MaraNatha No Stir Peanut and Almond Butters, which are ready to use immediately after opening-no stirring required! Why do they use palm oil in their No Stir Peanut Butter and No Stir Almond Butter? They add a small amount of natural palm oil to help keep the nut oil from separating from the solid part of the nut. Adding the palm oil results in nut butter that does not need to be stirred and spreads more easily. Palm oil is not hydrogenated, contains zero tr
